Corneal Dendritic Cell Density Is Associated with Subbasal Nerve Plexus Features, Ocular Surface Disease Index, and Serum Vitamin D in Evaporative Dry Eye Disease
Dry eye disease (DED) has evolved into a major public health concern with ocular discomfort and pain being responsible for significant morbidity associated with DED. However, the etiopathological factors contributing to ocular pain associated with DED are not well understood. The current IVCM based study investigated the association between corneal dendritic cell density (DCD), corneal subbasal...
متن کاملcorneal epithelial dendritic cells and subbasal corneal nerve plexus in herpes simplex keratitis versus acanthamoeba keratitis
purpose: to investigate confocal scan features of corneal subbasal nerve plexus and epithelial dendritic cells in herpes simplex keratitis (hsk) as compared to acanthamoeba keratitis (ak). methods: confocal scan records of patients with clinical and confocal microscopic features compatible with hsk and ak as well as confocal scan records of normal participants were reviewed. the density and mor...
متن کاملAre Serum Vitamin D Levels Associated With Dry Eye Disease? Results From the Study Group for Environmental Eye Disease
Objectives Dry eye disease (DED) is an increasingly important public health problem in Korea. Previous studies conducted in Korea have reported inconsistent results regarding the protective effects of vitamin D on DED, and these discrepancies may be related to the relatively simple questionnaire that has been used. Thus, we evaluated the association of serum vitamin D levels with DED using the ...
متن کاملCytomegalovirus PCR Analysis of Serum and Ocular Swab Samples in Patients with Inflammatory Eye Disease
Abstract Background and Aims: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is very common in the population. Virus belongs to the family Herpesviridae, whose representatives are characterized by the ability to cause the human body's latent persistent infections. The goal of the study is to assess the CMVV infection frequency and PCR method in the choice of CMV in inflammatory eye disease, Comparing wit...
متن کاملLangerhans cells prevent subbasal nerve damage and upregulate neurotrophic factors in dry eye disease
The functional role of Langerhans cells (LCs) in ocular surface inflammation and nerve damage in dry eye (DE) disease has yet to be determined. This study was performed to investigate this relationship through both clinical study on DE patients and in vivo mouse models with induced DE disease. In a cross-sectional case-control study (54 eyes of DE patients; 34 eyes of control patients), average...
